“You won’t find Halloween, Alaska, anywhere on a map. Instead, this Minnesota band inhabits a sensual, weightless world of sweetly brooding electronic pop.” —SPIN

“…like [TV On The Radio], this Midwestern quartet lays out moody guitar and keyboards bric-a-brac atop subtly quaking beats…There’s understated elegance all over their third record—soft, glassy drones, worried groove glitch, a sly come-on cribbed from an old Prince song.” —Blender

“A lot of bands claim not to fit in any preexisting pop music genre, but few can back up these claims as convincingly as Minneapolis-based Halloween, Alaska. … jittery-jungly and swooningly melodic … sonically large and weirdly cathartic … Highly recommended.” —All Music Guide

“Halloween, Alaska’s emotive verve and electro-organic poise is so accomplished, you’d think you’d got your hands on The Blue Nile’s mislaid comeback album.” —MOJO

“The sounds — whether gravelly bass riffs or lighter-than-air background washes — are so carefully picked and programmed that you dwell on their texture in the same way that you’d run your finger over the grain in a piece of wood … Mesmerising stuff.” — Sunday Times (UK)

“Somehow this band was able to make an album with synths and loops and electronic drums as real and organic and warm as one of Bob Dylan’s pre-electric albums. … The atmosphere is so thick you can practically drink it.” — Sponic
